answer:
x = 4
y =23
work:
plug in the value of Y to -2x-3y=-2. -2x - 3(6x-1) = -2
multiply 3 and the numbers in parenthesis. -2x -18x - 3 =-2
combine like terms (-2x -18x). -20x - 3 = -2
subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the variable. -20x = -5
divide to isolate the variable (-20/-5) x = 4
-
now that we know the value of x, it'll be easy to find Y.
Plug it in to the first equation.
y=6(4)-1
y = 24 - 1
y = 23
so x = 4
and y = 23
hope this helps! :D
